Hi All,
I tried install some firmware from Samfirmware, now my phone is currently sitting at ;
------------------------------------------------------------------
Android-version: 2.3.5
Basebandversion: I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7.I9100XWKI8-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Compile number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot get Market Enabler or anything to work now, does this mean my phone is no longer rooted. If so, how do I get it rooted again with this firmware?, do I need to install another full firmware set or is there a root kernel available.
OR, do I just need to do something else to enable the rooting process ?
Cheers Guys....

Go to this link CF-Root Kernel for XXKI4. See post #6. Download the last/bottom kernel. Hope this helps

Hi guys,
I successfully managed to root my UK SGS2.
Now system info says:
Baseband version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
And here's my questions:
1- how can I now update the phone to new firmware versions?
2- can I still use Kies or will I lose the root or brick the phone?
3- is the version I have installed the last one?
4 basically can anybody give me some "definitions" so that I don't mess up anymore baseband/kernel/firmware/rom concepts?
thanks a lot in advance!
XWKE7 is latest for now.
You can update using ODIN or KIES. If you install stock ROMs, you will lose root access, but it's easy enough to regain it with CF-Root
ROM = PDA = main system software image
RADIO = MODEM = the software used to control the baseband on the phone
SBL = BOOTLOADER = the secondary bootloader used when loading up the phone
CSC = Carrier/Network specific settings and customisations (Carrier Specific Customisations is the abbreviation iirc)
So in order to understand what's my latest firmware version I have to look at this?
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7

So if mine is GINGERBREAD.BUKE1...?
I'm trying to get my head around it all, and frankly vodafone seem to have made it more confusing. Why couldn't Samsung force them to jsut have the phone with no crap on it in the first place!
Hey pulser ! I come from the HTC Hero board, so I'm a little confused with those step for flashing the SGS2 but I'm happy anyway to see people I already know
So I'm a bit lost and ask myself if flashing in this way will work ? PDA : XWKE8 / PHONE : XXKE4 / CSC : Default (I can't find a CSC that fits for a french SFR phone...)
Sorry for my odd english :/
How do you update the firmware?
my current build is : GINGERBREAD.XWKDD.
When I plug in the usb it shows the files in the phone but does not come up with any firmware update option?

Search PhilZ kernel on XDA.Then download the XWLSD version.be sure it's a ".zip" file,and it says"signed".Put this file (w/o extract)on your external SD card.The reboot into recvery,choose"install update from external storage or something similar",and then install the downloaded file.Now you are rooted,without a yellow triangle.
Hi,
I would like to update my Android version. I am unable to do this via Kies as Kies doesn't like the firmware I am on - Kies is terrible too - took a couple of hours for Kies to accept my phone is connected to the laptop!
Details of my phone are:
PDA: I9100XWKH1
PHONE: I9100XXKG5
CSC: I9100XEUKH1
Current Android version: 2.3.4 (would like to update to the latest official version)
Model number: GT-I9100
Baseband version: I9100XXKG5
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKH1
I know you can update to the latest Android version via ODIN, but I am a bit confused with this CSC etc.
Can someone please let me know which official firmware (only want the official one) I should download of the latest version and also the link to the step by step instructions to install it onto my phone.
Sorry, I know you will have been asked this question many times, but I don't want to mess it up! I am quite tech savvy so hopefully should be able to follow basic instructions once I have the right softwares/roms etc.
Thank you!
Nirav
EDIT: my phone is NOT unlocked

Thank you for your reply. So any 4.1 will do, regardless of my "CSC" etc?
Also, I would be grateful if you could please give me the link to the instructions (so that I don't follow any old instructions by mistake).

You won't brick anything. Just follow instructions and use latest Odin. Flash the rooted kernel and you're done.
I prefere You make this:

actually, for installing custom roms you really dont need to bother about your firmware details only your device make and model
unless you need to flash stock roms
if you are not rooted then search for siyah kernel(safest way to start) and flash it via odin
you can find the details in the forum
then flash the custom rom via recovery
